Pasqualino’s Pizza & Pasta

The food here is delicious! We drive about 15 minutes to get a large pizza and hot stuffed peppers all the time! The sauce and crust are fabulous. I haven’t had a pizza like it.
They serve the best chicken tortellini soup Wednesdays and Saturdays. The broth is flavorful and light. The large homemade rolls go great with the soup.
The prices for the quality of food is amazing. They do get busy, so make sure you account for extra time when placing an order.

Hadn’t been in for maybe 10 years. Had a Turners and a half a Las Vegas and in was all I hoped it could be as compared to memory. Can’t wait to go back.

Been coming here for 40+ years. Never a bad experience. One of my favorite pizzas and the shells are incredible. Always good service whether eat in or take out. Very friendly local atmosphere.

I got the cheese ravioli and subbed meat sauce for the tomato sauce. It is fantastic! The meat sauce is so authentic!

Best pizza in town! Greg and his crew pay close attention to detail to ensure every meal is up to our standards.

If you can handle the poor, slooooow, and mostly rude service, their pizza, meatballs, and stuffed shells are divine! We love the sauce: you can buy jars for around $ 6. I’d recommended take out to avoid the wait!

Pizza is SO delicious. We typically get size large (square), which is a generous portion of pizza. It is definitely enough to feed a family, or enough to feed two people for a few meals. I really like their cheese blend, which I believe consists of at least some portion of provolone cheese. I haven’t tried anything else besides the pizza, so I can’t comment on that.
I took off one star for service. We’ve only ever picked up pizza there, and sometimes it takes 10 minutes or so just to get someone’s attention so we can pick-​up and pay for our order. It’s frustrating to wait there to pay, while you can actually SEE your pizza getting cold in the background. Either way, it’s worth it because the pizza is just so good!

Delicious food! Wouldn’t change a thing. Have had just about everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Fantastic lasagna! My husband loves the Crab Cake Medusa! Regular and super thick pizzas are awesome! I think the type of cheese is what really makes it! Best white pizza also! I could go on all day, I’m making myself hungry just writing this.

Absolutely the best little Italian spot in penn hills hands down. There is no competition for miles. The prices can’t be beat along with the hospitality.
I enjoy the crab cake medusa which has an Alfredo based sauce with a delicious crab cake on top of linguine noodles…
The meat is so soft and tender that it leaves you begging for more. I’ve been here twice in the last week and would love to dine here every day. We ordered the lasagna which was amazing. the meat is so soft and their red sauce works with every dish. the flavor is by far very exciting.
I’m wrinting this as I eat., I just had a bite of the gnocchi and man are you missing out if you’ve never eaten here… please try this place it is amazing!!!

Best Italian restaurant by far! I’ve been here hundreds of times and tried atleast half of the menu lol! Pizza is awesome, steak hoagie fully loaded is probably my favorite and haven’t had one thing that I didn’t like. Its a great family restaurant and you always leave full and happy and thinking what else can you try next time you visit! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND PASQUALINOS TO EVERYONE THAT LIKES TO EAT :)

We were traveling with our three children and this restaurant was the perfect stop. The food was great, fresh bread, homemade cookies, cheese, pasta, pizza. Crayons and Friendly service too. Great Christmas music and decorations. Perfect.

Just tried this place for the first time. Nothing fancy inside but the food was fantastic! Our service was good. Over all a great dinner. We did notice their takeout service was phenomenal while we were there… It was an endless line of people throughout our whole meal.

I went here as a kid when it was pizza palace… still same place but name changed… took my husband and kids here a few months back, now its our favorite place. i daughter is always asking for it… square cuts that are light and airy lots of cheese and pep is are fav. this is a must try. byow if you like.

A rare 5 star for me… pizza is old school great, the sauce is great, the pasta dishes are awesome. It is family style dining — no bar or alcohol on site. The are only a few pizza places I drive out of my way for… this is one of them.

Great place for an unpretentious, tasty Italian meal. Great for takeout too. Incredibly busy, and short wait times. BTW they DO accept credit cards (MC, VISA, AmEx). A great unsung place!

Not sure how this establishment was rated a 5 star… really? Hubby and I wanted Italian food without having to drive all over Pittsburgh so we Unilocal’d and found a five star Italian restaurant just up the road a bit.
No hostess waiting at a podium here. Just a togo counter where we were instructed to grab a menu and seat ourselves. The only available two tops were located in the middle of the traffic aisles, meaning patrons and wait staff walking on both sides.
None of this mattered to us, however, because the ratings of four and five stars that we read were based on how delicious the whole menu is. And we LOvE Italian food!
I ordered the chicken parm which came in two sizes, as do other menu items. Hubby ordered spaghetti and meatballs. We thought these dishes would be accompanied with hot, freshly toasted garlic bread but came with a large cold bun. But just a few minutes earlier, the table next to us had what looked like some sort of bread, toasted and wrapped in foil. So assuming it was toasted garlic bread, we asked our server if we can have garlic toast instead of the bun. Oh, no, says our server… we always serve the buns.
The pasta and sauce were adequate but not as amazing as what the others rated. Definitely not a four or five star, but adequate. Therefore, my rating is 3 stars.

I’m a Penn Hills native, and Pasqualino’s is a must when considering take-​out.
Everything on their menu is delicious. Their pasta sauce is slightly sweet and is great on the stuffed shells (my favorite!), spaghetti and meatballs, and lasagna.
Their pizzas are sicilian (thick cut, square). My family loves their pizza. Frankly, sicilian isn’t my pizza preferance. I always order one of the pasta or salad entrees, both of which come with freshly-​made rolls and butter.
Staff is friendly, and if you go there enough, they WILL learn your name and food preferences.
Overall, food is cheap and high-​quality.
One tiny drawback. They do not deliver. But I do not think that warrants a docked star.

YOU MUST TRY EVERYTHING BECAUSE EVERYTHING IS SO GOOD!!! Employees are very nice, family owned, cleaned and food usually is ready fast… small dining area inside, they do have delivery or take out!

MY DELICIOUS SECRET ITALIAN PLACE EAST OF PITTSBURGH — WONDERFUL COMFORT FOOD HIDDEN AWAY FOR ONLY THOSE WHO FIND IT TO ENJOY!
So my parents took my hubby and I to this place. They found out about it from friends and went a couple times and then brought us. My whole life I’ve driven past this place thinking it was just some take out pizza joint in the basement of a old house –WRONG! As it turns out its a super cute little restaurant/​take out place that is clean as a whip and more importantly — tucked away from the hustle of it all!
As soon as you walk in you realize it’s a lovely little restaurant — nicely decorated (but still simple). When I walked in my eye went straight to the kitchens pantry shelves filled with delicious DeCecco Pasta — which as an Italian I prefer and find superior to all other dried pasta! The smell of sauce hits you next and it makes you want to try it!
On a Sunday night this place was doing the business! It was packed with diners as well as a continual stream of take out folks. The place has no more than 15 – 17 tables max and low ceilings make it feel super cozy. The wait staff was friendly and the menu was the essence of comfort food. Filled pastas, sandwiches and pizzas are just some of the delicious options offered. I myself had rigatoni and chicken parm. This was homemade stuff — not out of a jar, freezer or deep fryer — hand breaded and moist chicken breasts and saucy rigatoni equaled delish!
Homemade rolls and homemade desserts topped off this great meal.
Now yes– I admit this is not fine dinning but my family and I are constantly looking for new and good places to get Italian comfort food without joining the rest of the masses at chain places. Plus, this place is super reasonably priced — you can get a great meal for less than $ 10/​per person and not have it be crud. So — if that’s what you’re looking for and your near the Penn Hills/​Oakmont/​Plum/​Verona area — head here!
